Garry has done a great job in building our metalwork bench. Now that this very sturdy bench is complete our members have been making good use of this part of the Shed. Behind Garry is 1 of 2 welding curtains that divide the machine section and the small motors section off when men want to use either the MIG Welder or the stick welder. We can now have 3 separate working areas in our metal shop, so no more welding flash.
Frank, our most reserved and quiet member, always uses hearing protection when working on a machine. Perhaps some of our other members can take his example and use the safety gear provided when working on noisy machines.
Everyone has a task and are concentrating on their jobs. The table in the centre is full of donated wooden toy parts and templates as well as a letter box Alex, our blind member, is finishing and another bird/bat box.
A Shed where men come to share their skills and stories in a supportive & caring environment. We are heavily involved supporting wildlife by making all types of possum boxes, nesting boxes and other goods that are available and for sale to the public to support our unique fauna.
Men are welcome to spend time working on projects for themselves or the community, share stories and a cuppa, learn or teach each other in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Our Shed is a comprehensive facility that includes woodworking and metalworking areas,and various other activities.
There is no attendance criteria.Come and go as you wish. Some men are task oriented while others attend for the social activities, but all enjoy the company of other like minded members.
